I would be very much in favor of limiting mound visits especially from catchers and other infielders.

 

That shit has gotten out of hand.

 

Eliminating that speeds up your pace tremendously.

 

Yeah there really needs to be a cap on amp but of visits. I think 2 a game is more than fair

 

 

They already  separate IBB on stat pages. Maybe just count them as that rather than an actual walk.

 

for fantasy purpose they are counted one and the same which sees silly tho. they also still count against a pitchers WHIP

Yeah. I'm pretty sure they'll just start counting it as a manager call and it won't go against the stats. Makes most sense.

 

 

I think it'll count as a walk in the stats, just no pitches added. I don't see it affecting WHIP either way (positively or negatively)

 

 

Why would it count anything different stats wise.

Ask @pollythewog, he's the idiot that brought the topic up. Terrible question/point if you ask me.

because literally no action is happening. It's now a managerial move rather than a 4 balls baseball move. I don't see how it should count against the pitcher

The batter is walking to first base after being told by the ump "Take your base"  There is no gray area here, stop trying to make something out of nothing.

it was always a managerial move.  it just involved 4 tosses to the catcher before.  now it doesnt.

Exactly.

 

@pollythewog is acting like pitchers elected to IBB guys.

And they had no choice but to throw those outside since the manager told them to. Managerial decision.

The most ridiculous change to MLB that I can think of.  What a shame. 

 

 

This rule will attract a grand total of zero new viewers to MLB.
